The Valley Remnant Church - Lord's Day Worship
The Valley Remnant Church -Sundy School
📍 📍 No matter how dramatic everyone who has ever come to Christ has a supernatural conversion because it's not our nature to go to Christ. We love the darkness. We love our sin. We love the pleasures of the lu, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. We live for those because indeed our, our, our fallen nature given to us through Eve and Adam indeed indwells of with this sin that we just love, we love to do what is wrong, what is contrary to what God is, we indeed continue to fight against. Yes, who God is by what we love, apart from Christ. That's why it doesn't matter how dramatic your conversion is, it is a supernatural conversion. Paul, here, it's all here. All of a sudden, the twinkly of an eye in, in the moment changes from a terrorist to a treasured gem in the crown of Christ. He goes indeed, from the persecuted to the preacher, from the reprehensible to Christ's representative. He's a new creature. He's a new creature. He's a new creature, a new creation. All things have passed away. Behold, all things have been made new right before his very eyes.
Supernatural Transformation From Darkness to Light
📍 📍 The idea in this conversion of Saul right here is probably the second most important conversion or the, the first most important conversion, but the second most, uh, important historical event that has ever taken place. Mm-hmm. Because we see first and foremost is the, is the death and the resurrection of Christ, but secondly is the conversion of Paul because we wouldn't have the majority of the New Testament if it wasn't for this man right here. Mm-hmm. He goes on not only from a persecutor, but he becomes indeed. A preacher.
Saul's Conversion A Pivotal Historical Event
📍 📍 He was ready and he was willing. He wanted to continue to ravage the church. He wanted to tear it apart, fit from bit thinking that he's doing something that is going to glorify God, thinking he's doing something that's honoring God by removing this sect, he was so corrupt. He was so deceived. He was so on edge that he failed to do what God has called his people to do, to read in the study God's word. And he goes, and this individual, Saul is a indeed a interesting character. He grew up in Tarsus, as we know, in as Saul Tarsus, which is a Greek city. This city is a Greek city, and it is said to be the first actual city that ever existed. I don't know how accurate that is, but this is a lot of theories to say that this is the first city that ever existed
Ruthless Zeal The Misguided Mission
📍 📍 the covenant that God made with Abraham wasn't contingent upon Abraham's ability to fulfill the covenant, but it was contingent upon God's ability. And God's ability is for sure true and steadfast. And God keeps the covenants that he makes with his people. Just like the covenant he made with Eve, to indeed have that seed that will crush the head of the serpent. Now bringing from from Eve Abraham and from Abraham, descendants like David, who then are following God and being a man after God's own heart, yet falling in the sin and rebellion. And the people of Israel continue in their path of worshiping false gods and falling into sin. Yet and still, God brings forth a remnant.
God's Steadfast Promises
📍 📍 Not people who he's selecting based upon their external appearances, but God cares about your heart. So we see Paul saw there. He says, why are you persecuting me? We didn't hear anything about Saul persecuting Jesus did we or persecuting the church. He tried to murder threats against the Lord's disciples, but we didn't hear anything about him persecuting Jesus did we?
God Cares About Your Heart
📍 📍 I know many of us think we're nothing. I'm nothing. Yeah. We can say that, but we're something in God's hands. Amen. That's right. We might not understand what he wants to use us for, but he can't surely use us in any way he chooses. We have to be diligent. We have to listen to those around us. We have to indeed heed the call that God has for us. 'cause each and every one of us has a call if we're in Christ, what is your call? What is he called you to do? See if he hasn't called you yet to the work in the church. He's calling you now to become part of the church, which is first and foremost, repentance and faith in Christ to put your faith in Christ because he died for your sin. He died the death that you deserve. And then he was raised again on the third day. Day proving that what he's done was satisfactory in God's sight. It's done. It's finished. Finished. Amen.
From Nothing to Something in God's Hands
📍 📍 No. God works mysteriously in mysterious ways, reaching every one of us if we don't see that today. Out of all days that he rose again from the dead on his own accord. What makes you think that he can't shine a light on Saul? Amen. Sorry, and speak to him. Yeah. Remember Stephen stoning? Stephen looked up, he saw the heavens open. Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father. We see the very person who in the sense put Stephen to death Now. Heaven's open Jesus there confirming all that, Stephen has spoke. So that should another be another encouragement to us all as we close and understanding indeed that, that no matter what, we think that our plans are only dependent upon God's providence.
